"Proximity to power deludes some into thinking they wield it," Frank Underwood once said. But just how close are Underwood's pawns to his newly acquired presidential power in Netflix's political thriller?

The Underwoods' massive cleanup effort has a lot of stains to tackle: old enemies, precarious alliances and riveting threats to everyone's future. But the mops now have fresh blood on them after a shocking death turns plans upside down at the end of episode one.
